I Ate What clean up. The trope is when a character eats something, unaware of what they are consuming, and then reacts in disgust after they find out what it is. Misuse will be deleted or moved to another trope when applicable. Administrivia.Zero Context Examples will be removed or commented out depending on the amount of context within the entry. Also, I Ate What is not a character trope.

Student animal rights activists raid an animal testing lab and find rather more than they bargained for. A large, unpleasant and unnatural creature escapes with bloody results, causing Agent Dunham and the team to race against time to find it before losing one of their own.

to:

Student animal Animal rights activists raid ransack a laboratory and unwittingly release a creature with a ferocious appetite. As they flee in an SUV, the creature follows and grotesquely mutilates them. The Fringe team, consisting of FBI agents Olivia, Charlie Francis, Broyles, and civilian consultants Peter and Walter Bishop, arrives, and Walter sees evidence of different creatures' marks on the bodies. Olivia realizes one of them is missing, and after interviewing a student at MIT to try to identify the victims, she realizes they were animal-rights activists. While conducting autopsies on the bodies, an animal testing lab and find rather more than they bargained for. A large, unpleasant and unnatural control team at a different site is killed by the creature escapes after investigating a call.

While investigating the animal control team deaths, Charlie is attacked by the creature, but it fails to kill him after Olivia arrives on the scene. Walter explains he believes the creature is a man-made chimera, which has the best genetic traits of many different creatures, including a lizard, bat, and wasp. He had tried to create the creature years before, but his experiments failed, and concludes that someone else must have taken up his research. Though initially thinking Charlie was healthy after the attack, they realize the chimera's stinger injected him
with bloody results, causing Agent Dunham its larvae, and that he has less than 24 hours to live.

After experimenting with poison fails to kill
the team to race against time to find it before losing larvae in Charlie's body, Walter believes that mixing the chimera's blood with Charlie's will stop the larvae from attacking and bursting out of his body, as they did in the other victims' corpses. Olivia learns one of their own.the victims, Jonathan Swift, was the son of a scientist who tests on animals, and was killed while breaking into his father's lab. They also realize the chimera was created based on work by one of Walter's peers, not Walter himself.

After several sightings, the Fringe team move into some nearby storm drains to bait the chimera with its larvae. Feeling somewhat responsible, Walter locks himself in with the chimera and ingests some poison that will kill him within the hour, believing that if it kills him, the chimera will only be killing itself. He manages to shoot the chimera in time however, and they use its blood to develop a cure for Charlie.
